Home Ownership Rate in Canada decreased to 66.70 percent in 2023 from 69.30 percent in 2021. This dataset provides the latest reported value for - Canada Home Ownership Rate - plus previous releases, historical high and low, short-term forecast and long-term prediction, economic calendar, survey consensus and news.

About two in three Canadians lived in an owner-occupied home in 2022. Since 2017, the home ownership rate in Canada has fluctuated and in 2019, it peaked at approximately **** percent. In 2022, this figure was slightly lower, at **** percent.

The homeownership rate represents that percentage of total available homes occupied by households. Historical data is sourced from Statistics Canada's National Household Survey.

In the presented European countries, the homeownership rate extended from 42 percent in Switzerland to as much as 96 percent in Albania. Countries with more mature rental markets, such as France, Germany, the UK and Switzerland, tended to have a lower homeownership rate compared to the frontier countries, such as Lithuania or Slovakia. The share of house owners among the population of all 27 European countries has remained relatively stable over the past few years. Average cost of housing Countries with lower homeownership rates tend to have higher house prices. In 2023, the average transaction price for a house was notably higher in Western and Northern Europe than in Eastern and Southern Europe. In Austria - one of the most expensive European countries to buy a new dwelling in - the average price was three times higher than in Greece. Looking at house price growth, however, the most expensive markets recorded slower house price growth compared to the mid-priced markets. Housing supply With population numbers rising across Europe, the need for affordable housing continues. In 2023, European countries completed between one and six housing units per 1,000 citizens, with Ireland, Poland, and Denmark responsible heading the ranking. One of the major challenges for supplying the market with more affordable homes is the rising construction costs. In 2021 and 2022, housing construction costs escalated dramatically due to soaring inflation, which has had a significant effect on new supply.

Canadians aged 18 to 34 were most likely to plan a home purchase in the next 12 months, according to the results of a survey conducted in January 2023. Approximately ** percent of the respondents in this age group planned to buy a home in the next year, whereas in the ** to ** age group, this share was six percent. The source adds that the average for the country was ** percent, meaning that ** percent of Canadians wanted to make a home purchase in the next five years.

This statistic shows the homeownership rate in Toronto and Vancouver in 2018. In 2018, the homeownership rate in Toronto reached ** percent, which is one percent less than the Canada average.

Residential property estimates by geography, property type, period of construction and residency participation.

New housing price index (NHPI). Monthly data are available from January 1981. The table presents data for the most recent reference period and the last four periods. The base period for the index is (201612=100).

Homeownership rates in Canada, the provinces and territories, and all major metropolitan markets from 1971 to 2011. This table lets industry professionals compare local, provincial and territorial markets against the national benchmarks at a glance.

In 2018, seven in ten private households lived in a dwelling they owned in Canada. LGBTQIA+ households, on the other hand, were only ** percent homeowners, and for most homeowners had a mortgage to repay. In addition, *** percent of LGBTQIA+ households lived in subsidized housing, *** percentage points more than the rest of Canadian households. According to StatCan, the Canadian statistical institute, the LGBTQ2+ population is relatively young: people aged 15 to 24 make up ** percent of the LGBTQ2+ population, compared to ** percent of the non-LGBTQ2+ population. This would contribute to lower rates of homeownership among LGBTQ2+ households compared to all households, as homeownership rates tend, on average, to increase in older age groups.

According to the 2006 Census, 68% of households owned their home up from 66% in 2001. In 2006, households in the Atlantic provinces continued to have the highest homeownership rates in the country, with Newfoundland and Labrador ranking first, at 78.7%. Households in Quebec had the lowest, at 60.1%. The map shows the percentage of households in each census division that own their dwelling.

Approximately 66% of households in Canada own their home, compared to approximately 34% of households that rent their dwelling. The highest provincial ownership rates were in Newfoundland and Labrador (78%) and the lowest in Quebec (58%). Nunavut at 24% has the lowest ownership rates in the country as more than the half of the dwellings are public housing. Home ownership is less in the larger metropolitan areas than in rural and smaller centres. Dwelling refers only to owner-occupied private dwellings, which do not include dwellings situated on farms, but can include owner-occupied dwellings situated on rented or leased land or part of a condominium. The map shows the percentage of households in each census subdivision that rent their dwelling.

Housing stock in units is an economic estimate of the number of housing units in Canada, the provinces and territories by institutional sector, dwelling occupation, dwelling type, and tenure type. These data are used to estimate gross domestic product by income and expenditure. The units are benchmarked to dwelling data from the census at the national, provincial and territorial levels. Dwelling type and tenure type are also aligned with census data.

Data on the number of residential property owners and their assessment value by ownership type, residency status and number of properties owned.

The rental price index in Canada has soared since 2002, reaching an all-time high in 2025. In the second quarter the index measured 135.8 index points, which was a 35.8 percent increase since the base year, 2015. The rent paid on average by households in a certain territory. These figures are seasonally adjusted, which means that the effect of seasonal variations was eliminated from the data.

A novel index for estimating the expense of housing and transportation in Canada has been developed, based on the Center for Neighborhood Technology’s Housing + Transportation (H+T®) Affordability Index. By combining census data and data from other statistical programs we obtain a composite index (the H+T Index) for all aggregate dissemination areas of Canada, except for territories and First Nations.
